In short: Great race nice weather and well organisedIn full: Good day out could have another water station in the middle. Where was the 8 mile marker? Overall very enjoyable despite the hill at the end. We ended up with a PB by 2 mins! Thanks to the friendly marshalls. Date of review: June 14, 2009

In short: Pleasant run through country lanes and around the lakeIn full: Good local race with nice route through country lanes and around Barston Lake. Not completely traffic free but roads quiet enough and well marshalled. A few water stops which was needed with the heat today. Medal and chocolate at the finish with the option of some hot food if wanted. Nice area to wait around in for family friends with licensed bar. One minute out from my time last yearDate of review: June 14, 2009

In short: An enjoyable race on the wholeIn full: My first time at this one. I thought it was well organised and went well to be honest. Nice course to run. The marshalls were great..thanks to them.Not too challenging apart from the fact it was a hot one and a cheeky climb towards the end.I'll be back next year me thinks.Date of review: June 14, 2009

In full: Areally nice run that is a bit challenging. Well orginised and very friendly. Only slight complaint this year is for the 'head misstress/maitron' like woman telling people that its a race and people should not walk...Very nice considering temperatures were in the 70s!!! I also have to mention the runner who persisted in coughing up phlem for the entire race! Maybe you shoul lay off the fags mate!!!! I am sure he brought up his liver at the 4 mile mark!!!! I cant be the only one who was totally discusted by this????Date of review: June 14, 2009

In short: Friendly, well organised, excellent marshalls, low key atmosphere and nice rural courseIn full: It was very hot this year but four water stations were welcome. Only criticism - next year why not bring people up the hill to the start rather than have lots of slower runners fighting their way from the start line back to the rear. Otherwise, a really well organised, friendly race through some great countryside. Date of review: June 14, 2009

Good warm weather today made the course testing but not too bad, I enjoyed it and will be back next year.Date of review: June 14, 2009

In short: Well organised picturesque race.In full: Very well organised race through pretty country roads. Start a bit congested but otherwise no bad marks. Water stations where needed. Bargain in comparison to many. Well done to the organisers, I'll be back next year.Date of review: June 14, 2009
